[[Paper & Card]] is essentially derived from trees and so, if it is to be sustainable, paper and card waste should be recycled so the rate at which these materials are used does not exceed the rate at which the trees can grow<ref name="foo" />.

In addition to recycling, a significant portion of paper and card waste is sent to [[Energy Recovery Facility|energy recovery facilities]] as part of the waste mix where [[recycling]] has not fully recovered the material, totaling  566,000 tonnes in 2014<ref>WRAP, 2016.

Where this material is in the waste mix and sent to [[Energy Recovery Facility|energy recovery facilities]] it is counted as [[Biomass]]/Renewable content.
